"This book genuinely surprised me. The title and cover had led me to expect that the author was going to adopt a rather esoteric approach to the subject of culture and travel. The book is deep - but it is also easy to read, very practical, and full of useful information as well."

A wonderful find. An intercultural book that is actually about human beings. I was very glad to discover this book, which addresses the very reasons I entered the intercultural field: a desire to understand myself and others from a cultural perspective and a pursuit of some wisdom on how people from different cultural contexts can build connections. Thank you Alan Cornes
